===Zbehy – Jelšovce===
[140,141] (ERA-E 89C2; ERA-R 204A3) SK24/1
 
This curve is used by trains running directly between Prievidza and Bratislava, avoiding Lužianky. There are regular trains throughout the day and these can be readily identified in the ZSSK timetable as follows:
For northbound trains use timetable 140 and look for trains starting from Bratislava hl.n. or Leopoldov with blanks against stations until a black line starts at Jelšovce and calls at Topoľčany and Prievidza.
For southbound services use timetable 140 and look for trains starting from Prievidza calling at Topoľčany with a black line below as far as Jelšovce and destination Bratislava hl.n.
 
===Kysak avoiding line: Veľká Lodina (Kysak výh. č 35/36) – Obišovce (Kysak výh. č 39/40)===


===Bratislava-Rača - odbočka Vinohrady - Bratislava predmestie - Bratislava Nové Mesto===
[180, 188] (ERA-E 91A4; ERA-R 202A3) SK24/2
[120] (ERA 205C1) SK17/1


A small number of services on the Bratislava - Trnava route run to Bratislava-Nové Mesto rather than Bratislava hlavná stanica: they are clearly marked in table 120. Interestingly, this route contains the only burrowing (flying) junction used by passenger services in Slovakia.
This curve is used by trains between Prešov and Margecany which are not booked to call and reverse at Kysak.

It appears that shuttles ran along this 3 km freight line in July-August 2020 - 2023 see [https://www.ruzomberok.sk/oznamy/leto-s-korytkom-2023.html dates and times for 2023].


This curve is used by trains between Prešov and Margecany which are not booked to call and reverse at Kysak.
It is expected that dates and times for 2024 shuttles will appear [https://www.ruzomberok.sk/oznamy/leto-s-korytkom-2024.html here].
Note that trains designated 'EC' are services of private operator Leo Express and ZSSK tickets/concessions are not valid.
Between Košice and Prešov and vice versa, Leo Express services may carry a different train number from that shown below.

===Čierna nad Tisou – Čop (Ukraine)===
===Bratislava Vajnory to Bratislava Vinohrady via Bratislava východ (line 127a)===
[190] (ERA 202C1-C2) SK17/5


This international route and the station area at Čop are dual gauge 1435/1520 mm. Public passenger services (2 return journeys daily) are 1435 mm gauge, operated by ŽSR. Cross border freight traffic uses both gauges are there are 1520 mm gauge tracks to and from the gauge-changing and transfer facilities in the Čierna nad Tisou area.
(ERA-E 89A5; ERA-R 205C1) SK24/4


{|  class="ostable"
Due to construction works in Bratislava-Vinohrady (single-track operation, platform 1 closed, only platform 2 in use in direction Bratislava Vajnory) westbound services between Bratislava Vajnory and Bratislava Vinohrady are diverted via Line 127a which passes Bratislava východ yard. This diversion will '''probably''' last until the timetable change in December 2023.  It has been left in here until reports that the diversion has ceased are seen/received.

What are presumably staff trains run to and from the marshalling yards east of Žilina. These are '''2017''' timings and probably use the flyover east of Žilina and the goods lines.

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 10 December 2023, unless otherwise shown. Standard abbreviations are explained here. Trains running only certain days of the week are shown using ISO 8601 weekday numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date).

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 3) by M.G. Ball.

IMPORTANT NOTE: in the Slovak Railways timetable (Cestovný poriadok), the ⚒ working days symbol means ① to ⑤ not, as for most other railways, ① to ⑥.

Obscure services

Zbehy – Jelšovce

[140,141] (ERA-E 89C2; ERA-R 204A3) SK24/1

This curve is used by trains running directly between Prievidza and Bratislava, avoiding Lužianky. There are regular trains throughout the day and these can be readily identified in the ZSSK timetable as follows: For northbound trains use timetable 140 and look for trains starting from Bratislava hl.n. or Leopoldov with blanks against stations until a black line starts at Jelšovce and calls at Topoľčany and Prievidza. For southbound services use timetable 140 and look for trains starting from Prievidza calling at Topoľčany with a black line below as far as Jelšovce and destination Bratislava hl.n.

Kysak avoiding line: Veľká Lodina (Kysak výh. č 35/36) – Obišovce (Kysak výh. č 39/40)

[180, 188] (ERA-E 91A4; ERA-R 202A3) SK24/2

This curve is used by trains between Prešov and Margecany which are not booked to call and reverse at Kysak.

Ružomberok – Zápalkáreň

(ERA-E 90A4; ERA-R 200B3) SK24/3

It appears that shuttles ran along this 3 km freight line in July-August 2020 - 2023 see dates and times for 2023.

It is expected that dates and times for 2024 shuttles will appear here.

Bratislava Vajnory to Bratislava Vinohrady via Bratislava východ (line 127a)

(ERA-E 89A5; ERA-R 205C1) SK24/4

Due to construction works in Bratislava-Vinohrady (single-track operation, platform 1 closed, only platform 2 in use in direction Bratislava Vajnory) westbound services between Bratislava Vajnory and Bratislava Vinohrady are diverted via Line 127a which passes Bratislava východ yard. This diversion will probably last until the timetable change in December 2023. It has been left in here until reports that the diversion has ceased are seen/received.

Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions

Zvolen avoider

[160, 170] (ERA-E 90A3; ERA-R 200B1) SK24/5

This north to east curve was last used between 5 - 23 November 2021 by trains to/from Banska Bystrica and Zvolen reversing at Zvolen nákladná stanica due to local engineering works.

Hodonín ČD - Holíč nad Moravou ŽSR

[Ex ČD 332/Ex ŽSR 115] (ERA-E 95C3; ERA-R 197C2; 88 ČD section only) SK24/6

This electrified single track cross border line closed to passengers at the December 2004 timetable change but is used by freight services and as a diversionary passenger route, fairly regularly in recent years due to major storm damage on the Czech main line. In use between 13th to 25th October 2023 with details on the ČD engineering work listings.

Trams

See Slovakia - Tram services over obscure routes

Other sparse services

The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than three trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run each weekday.

122 Trenčianska Teplá - Trenčianske Teplice For operating dates of this NG electric tramway see the operators' website Trez
123 Horné Srnie - Vlárský průsmyk(CD) 1 return train ⑤ and ⑦ (at different times)
160 Fiľakovo - Fiľakovo zastávka No service ⑥ or ⑦
174 Brezno-Halny - Tisovec additional showns are shown in the timetable with a note "runs from announcement"
185 Stará Ľubovňa - Plaveč better service on ⑥ and ⑦
185 Studený Potok - Tatranská Lomnica Service on ⑥ and ⑦. It appears that ①-⑤ service will only run after an announcement!
188 Lipany - Plaveč - Muszyna (Poland) See SK23/3 and SK23/4
190 Čierna nad Tisou - Čop
